Metro/Suffolk Music Extravaganza
Church of the Evangel
November 4, 2006

We filled the sanctuary of the Church of the Evangel on Saturday evening to create and enjoy music which reflected the diversity which is the United Church of Christ. Groups from more than a dozen UCC churches in the Suffolk and Metro Associations epitomized the theme of the UCC's 50^th Anniversary - "Let it Shine".

Mistress of Ceremonies for the evening was Ruby Wilson, chair of the Metro Board and Pastor of Safe Haven UCC. Musical Director was Jim Ahrend, Minister of Music at Sayville Congregational Church.
